How Are We Doing?

Hello, gentle readers!

So, I’m sitting here on a beautiful afternoon,
having just signed out from the day job, and I realize, I need to write my
blog!

My problem? I have no topic. None.

I must admit, these past couple of weeks of working
from home (for which I am extremely grateful – I work for a great company who
really cares about its employees) have turned my brain into mush, and you know
the kind I’m talking about. Oatmeal with milk and sugar. Thin. Runny. No
substance. When I was laid off from my previous position and I stayed home for
a bit so I could decompress from a toxic environment, there was a much
different feel to it.

This? Right now? So strange.

I’m calling it “Information Overload”.

Too many news stories, too much confusion, too much
conflicting information. For a while there, I put myself on a strict diet of no
news, but found I couldn’t do it. I have to know, you know?

So I’ve been reading the news feeds once again (and
yes, sometimes the comments…there have been a few occasions where I just sat
here with my mouth hanging open from shock and surprise, repeating to myself –
stupidly – Wow! WOW!)

I think I need to go on that self-imposed diet
again. No more news. I’ll talk with my DH instead (he’s enjoyed having me
home…the dogs, too. They think because I’m here, they can have more cookies.
*Sigh* They’re right!), deal with a plumbing issue (it’s an old house, bound to
happen), and try to keep my sanity.

I’m getting there, though. Hope you are, too. Stay
well. Stay safe.

Until
next time, remember to spread kindness wherever you go. We need it more now
than ever before.
